Quebec City — Unifor Québec condemns the announcement of plant closures and the termination Groupe Rémabec’s forest operations. The union is also questioning the motivations behind the employer’s radical decision that will severely impact workers in several regions of Quebec. Close to 1,400 workers could lose their jobs permanently, a real economic shock for several already fragile communities.
“We’re going to provide all the necessary support to the affected workers in our local unions and a meeting is planned with the employer’s representatives later in the day. We plan to continue our discussions with Rémabec’s management to explore every option in order to resume operations as quickly as possible,” explains Daniel Cloutier, Québec Director of Unifor.
